reminds me of the music teacher at elliot st school,he was always playing this.This thread's going well, isn't it ?
"Morning", from the Peer Gynt suite, (Greig). You can "hear" the sun coming up, birds singing. Makes my hair stand on end.
I couldn't agree more. The 30s were a time of depression and the music was obviously trying to lift people's spirits.I wasn't around in the 1930s but for cheerful, uplifting music I would have to go for songs (and dances) from the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. Examples include "Cheek to Cheek"; "Let's face the music and dance"; "Isn't it a lovely day"; "Top Hat"; "The way you look tonight"; and "Pick yourself up". Dave.
i turn it up loud, through my surround sound sys.This one reminds me of the Discos, no matter how much you brushed your dark jacket the specks would still show up...
Whiter Shade of Pale, Procal Harum 1968
Let it be me was originally a French song but nowhere near as good as the Everlys.It's probably been said earlier in the thread but with me it's where I was when the music was playing and the memory chord it strikes. Janis Ian's 'Jesse' takes me to Lake Bala on a sunny morning driving through the Welsh Hills with all my life before me and when I hear 'White Dress' I'm back at Cropredy for Fairport Convention's first festival. Just been playing 'Let It Be Me', my favourite Everly's song. I like the original though, not one of the later versions recorded at concerts. Someone once wrote 'Nostalgia is a pleasant kind of ache' and how right they were.
